%X THIS book by Nils Peterson and colleagues offers a detailed overview of both the social and environmental consequences of western housing fetishism. Not only do the authors marshal some powerful evidence that attests to the dark side of humanity&#x2019;s drive towards more and larger homes, they also spell out accessible guidance principles for one-planet housing and point to directions for change across individual, regional, national and international scales. Whilst largely US-centric in orientation The Housing Bomb should resonate strongly across the political North, especially in countries like Australia where US housing patterns continue to be emulated.
